Teddi Mellencamp, star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, had been experiencing “serious and exhausting” headaches and was later hospitalized for “oppressive” discomfort.
The TV personality, who was member of the reality show for three seasons, shared that following the doctor’s visit, they revealed she had multiple tumors in her brain.
“Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization,” Mellencamp wrote on her Instagram page Wednesday.
“After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumours on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least six months.”
She announced her followers that doctors would surgically remove two of the tumors that day, February 12. The rest of the tumors, the smaller ones, will “be suffered from via radiation at a later date.”
“I am blessed to be surrounded by my children, family, friends, doctors, nurses and surgeons who are doing everything possible to get me back into better health,” she wrote. “Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey.”
Before the procedure, Mellencamp, who was diagnosed with stage II melanoma back in 2022, recorded her journey before the surgeries.
Sharing a photo of herself from the hospital bed, she wrote, “Counting down the minutes until my babies get here.”
She also added a letter from her dad who is the famous rock star John Mellencamp read, “As my dad said this am, God only gives hard stuff to those of us who can handle it. It’s a hard day but I have faith and amazing surgeons and know everything will be ok.”
“So many people asking for updates. All I will say right now is surgery went well. That said, I’ve never seen @teddimellencamp in so much pain. She’s finally getting some much needed rest. I know she is grateful for the outpouring of love.”
This isn’t the first time Mellencamp to undergo surgeries because she revealed on the podcast Him & Her in February that she had over 20 surgeries due to her skin melanoma diagnosis.
